    @Garmin_Nuvi, I have the same Drivesmart 51 with the same issue. Region 16 dump is exactly the same as the 16_backup(Standard unit).rar listed above. Any other regions I should be checking out? I've dumped out all the regions to a SD card if there's something you want to try.

    Did you compare the the BIN files just by size? If they have identical file hashes or are the same in a hex reader then they are indeed identical. As it seems these hire car DS51 devices are running the same firmware as the retail version the most likely control region is 16 although it could be anywhere in theory other than regions 14, 127 or 158 as they are the 'unit software' locations.

    @B1ng0, I did a binary comparison using WinMerge. I don't have any other region from a regular unit to compare it against. Do you know where I might be able to find those outside of acquiring a regular DS51 unit and extracting those regions? TIA.

    Unfortunately no unless someone has already got copies, otherwise dumping all regions 1 to 255 from a standard US/EU device is the way to go. Garmin_Nuvi posted rgn16 so maybe he has access to a device, i only replied to you above because i thought he may have missed your Post #11. You could send him a private message if he still doesn't respond here - usually he's quick to help out if possible.

    There's a possibility the feature is disabled some other way such as when factory programming the processor but Garmin doesn't have a history of doing that, or maybe there's even a sneaky BIN file somewhere on the device.

    Sorry I bought a few of them in January when Garmin wanted to move their old stock on, but all are gone now.
    May be another member can help ?

    Unless you are a "New" member, having used the Thanks button regularly is the quickest way to get help.

    @Garmin_Nuvi, @B1ng0. Thanks for your help. I'll live with this 'feature' for a bit. If you come across any plain DS51, let me know, and I can work on this a bit, just for curiousity sake.

    Is it possible that the what is disabled is the just the possibility to change the setting through the device? If so, would it be possible to directly change the setting on the device in a file or nv memory? Thanks!
